Forward Tomas Hertl had a goal and an assist and goalie Adin Hill made 36 saves as the Sharks used a strong first period to beat the Buffalo Sabres 3-2 on Thursday night at KeyBank Center.
Despite those unsightly losses, the Sharks are now just two points back of the Edmonton Oilers for the second and final wild-card playoff spot in the Western Conference. The Winnipeg Jets and Los Angeles Kings each entered Thursday with 37 points.Since he made 24 saves in a 2-1 Sharks win over the New York Islanders on Dec. 2, Hill had a 1-4-0 record and a .888 save percentage in six games.
“It’s just unfortunate because had such a great start to the season and like the rest of our team, has dipped a little bit. I know he’ll get back and we want to make sure that when he does, he’s close to 100 percent, so give him that chance for success.” “Clears his head and stop overthinking. You’ve got to play by instinct and you’ve got to play with confidence.”
Karlsson might return for Saturday’s game in Philadelphia, Boughner said, although being back for next Tuesday’s game at home with the Red Wings could be a better possibility.
